Hacksaw Ridge is a movie that is historical and biographical war and it is all about WWII. It is directed by Mel Gibson.

The movie was published on 4th of November, 2016, it is 2 hours and 20 minutes, and at the end there is an explanation on the real part of the movie. It is biographical movie, it contains drama, history, and war. The movie purpose was to inform us and represent Desmond Doss the hero and how he was a heroic symbol to all the other soldiers. This movie is basically trying to show us Desmond Doss the brave man. The movie starts with doss as a little boy playing with his …show more content…
It also showed that war for them was hard and important for both sides. The movie was really representable. Their acting was really powerful and beautiful and the writing of the movie was perfect and that they put quotes that were said in real life, like when desmond said “please lord help me get one more.” The director have put really effective music that can go perfect with scenes. I really liked the movie because it had a real life story and he chose perfect actors and also really interesting and represents WWII that there were people against violence. I would definitely recommend it for other to watch it is a great movie to explain a part in WWII and it will also teach a lesson on how to be a hero in a war and to never put down what you believed in. The movie has a lot of strengths like how the battle shots were perfect and wasn’t demonstrated fakely, there was also some weaknesses like things that would not normally happen, like when desmond kicked or flicked the grenade with his
The movie starts with the D-Day invasion at Normandy Beach, a very tragic and great day at the same time. Allied troops were being shot the second the landing vehicles opened, mortars were dropping all over, there was no cover, and those who sought refuge in the water were drowned by the weight of their equipment. As all of this happens, we follow members of one unit as they struggle to make their way on shore. Bodies are dropping everywhere, the wounded are piling up, and things are looking down. After intense battle and effort, however, the Allied forces finally take the beach, but not without a high cost of life.
In its best moments, the movie is a strong, anti-war documentary. It has truly moving moments of bereaved loved ones, mangled bodies in the streets, incredulous soldiers in Iraq, angry Iraqis and innocent teenagers being manipulated into enlisting. In this way, the movie presents a version of the war on Iraq that isn't shown much in the media. It improves our understanding of the war by giving it a human face.
The sign read “GREETINGS Peoples Temple Agricultural Project” It was white with black text, hanging at the entrance to Jonestown, the infamous location of the mass suicide of over 900 people, orchestrated by Jim Jones, their leader, father, and god. There is a lot of gray area when it comes to Jonestown, was it as it seems; A cult that ended tragically, or could it have been more? A CIA brainwashing experiment, or a way to smuggle Heroin into the the United States? Was the assassination of congressman Leo Ryan done by the Peoples Temple or by the CIA? Hopefuly this will shed some light on fact and fiction, and what I believe is the truth of the Jonestown massacre.
The United States government initially celebrated the Battle at Wounded Knee as the final conflict between Native Americans and the United States military - after which the western frontier was considered safe for the incoming settlers. Over 20 medals were awarded to the soldiers for their valor on the battlefield. However, the understanding has changed regarding what actually took place at Wounded Knee on December 29, 1890. The Hollywood version of the Battle of Wounded Knee accurately presents the case that the Battle at Wounded Knee was actually a massacre of the Sioux - the culminating act of betrayal and aggression carried out by the United States military,
... still funny look into our recent history. With important issues that apply not only to the time the movie was made but possibly to our present and our future it offers a warning against war controlled culture and nuclear proliferation. This and the other themes of the movies are still worth considering today. The levels of hidden imagery in the film make it worth watching multiple times to try to find more of the levels and then to try to integrate them into the overall story. Like a painting by Dali you feel that every new thing you uncover has another waiting below it. The camera angles and lighting are tied into the film to turn the whole story into a smooth flowing work that is more pleasing to watch in black and white than most movies are in color. The overacting makes a few scenes in to movie difficult to watch but the rest of the film picks up the slack.
The characters have done a great job giving insight into what it must really feel like in WWII. The experience they gave during the film really shows great effort on love, pain and sorrow. But they all have a role to play because they are dealing with war and they want us to know what that feels like. Most people who are alive nowadays have never experienced what war was like so they figured to show and have people understand. Overall I think this film gave a good explanation of how things were back then and how things work now.
...oung American men had to endure from the time that they had joined back in their boot camp days, and the brutality of war that showed them no mercy. To me the importance of the movie was to show what truly went on over in Vietnam through the eyes of a soldiers eyes of what happened, as the film created a very disturbing yet a real picture of The Vietnam War.
1. I think the place of the movie is very important because even though World War 2 was happening it wasn't happening everywhere. I think that the setting of the movie was supposed to mean something to people of other countries, especially in America. If it had been set in America, it wouldn't have made much sense or as much as an impact because World War 2 wasn't a huge thing to Americans yet. The culture was also so different as well and I think it makes people look at that differently as well.
In comparison with other WWII era movies I feel like it did a good job expressing the emotional levels of people rather than a strictly political stance. This film showed a great deal of racism towards Jewish people in Italy, during this time. It made me extremely uncomfortable and angry because everyone loved Guido, he was nice and extremely funny, but he also happened to be one of the only Jewish people in this area. Society made sure everyone around him know that he was Jewish. People would spray paint his bookstore saying “This is a Jew store,” as well as break in to his house and destroy it.
There is a scene in this movie where the coach takes the team on a long run in the middle of the night. They end up at the break of dawn at a cemetery. The coach tells the young men of the battle that was fought on that ground. He told of the blood shed on those grounds that turned the whole area red. This can help many people that want to make a difference in this world. They had to stand up for their new knowledge to people that they love and trust.
I also thought it was interesting that the movie did not demonize the Germans, as is usually the case with films set in World War II. The Germans are portrayed as benevolent in two scenes; the first is the portrayal of the German soldiers with the nurses, which demonstrates the loneliness of war. The second scene is when the Germans capture Milos, only to let him go after seeing his attempt at suicide.
The movie was not boring and had a lot of excitement I like the way this movie was made because they involved every character. In the end some of the characters had a happy ending they survived the war they suffered. For
What makes a good war movie? An interesting story? Great characters? Intense action? Drama? A score that drives the emotion of each scene? If you answered yes to any of these things then you will love Glory. This movie is filled to the brim with heart. The story follows the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, first all African American regiment during the American Civil War. They are a group of men that want to fight for their country, but face adversity and racism because if their color. The movie does a great job showing this adversity and making you feel fired up when the men are treated unfairly. This movie is filled with passion, so much passion that you begin to feel it too.
No one can describe The Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890 without digging in the past and getting some background on the events leading up to The Wounded Knee Massacre. There has been a battle between America and them wanting to remove Native Americans from their land ever since America was “discovered” by the Americans. In 1829 at his inaugural address President Andrew Jackson emphasized his desire “to observe toward Indian tribes within our limits a just and liberal policy, and to give that humane and considerate attention to their rights and their wants which is consistent with the habits of our Government and the feelings of our people”. Within 14 months of that speech Jackson himself urged Congress to
The Battle of Vimy Ridge, a defining moment for Canada as a nation, celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2017. The battle, fought in France during the First World War is a symbol for Canadians, to many the results of the battle meant the coming of age of Canada as a country. For the first time since the country’s conception, the whole Canadian Corps came together to fight in a heroic battle for the safety of their nation and the rest of the world. Yet, one must always have about them an air of suspicion when it comes to claims such as that of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Canadian historians are at odds when it comes to the battle. There are those who say that the idea that Canada was born at Vimy came decades after the battle. What brings about
